An outline application was submitted in June 2017 for up to 80 dwellings, B1 employment and associated infrastructure on this greenfield site adjoining the settlement boundary of Hatherleigh. Proposals included large amounts of open space, a play area and improved pedestrian and cycle links as well as a retained area for potential community or employment uses.

Following refusal of the application by West Devon Borough Council in March 2019, LVA is currently considering next steps. The site is well located in relation to existing facilities in the town and could assist in the delivery of much needed market and affordable housing in the local area and District.
